Because of a determined people’s movement, Lynne is finally home with her family. But she has urgent medical needs and costs.

Lynne will soon begin treatment requiring her to pay deductibles and co-payments. To boost the odds, she’ll use a special diet, vitamins, and other healing methods – some costly and none covered by insurance.

    Two documentaries are showing this weekend in London as part of the African Odysseys series: 

    Let the Fire Burn - The MOVE organisation were considered to be dangerous radicals because, among other things, they grew their own food.  This film documents this extraordinary event in which local Philadelphia residents, including children, were killed.  Many of the bodies were burnt beyond recognition.  Bullet holes were found in the bodies.  Let the Fire Burn tells the story.  Showing with:
